A man isn't to blame if ne is young. And
"that reminds me- apropos, that the artists
say that Mr.. Chase, the artist whose exhibit
tion made an impression here, was betrothed
in his early youth. He is very absent mind
ed now, egregiously SO, though he is far
from old. One day two or three ladies visit
ed his studio in New York and looked at
his pictures. When they had gone he
said to brother artist who was in the room:
at seems to me have seen one of those
ladies somewhere before, the small one, rath-
er pretty"
"Why, don't you remember?' returned his
friend, ''that's the girl you were engaged to
before you went to Holiand.''

PR0Gg OF GEEAs REEoR11-

PR0Gss ESS OF GREAT REFoRM.
Valuable testimony in favor OF Civil Ser
vice reform is given by the State civil ser
vice commissioners of Massachusetts, The
Massachusetts, law applies to clerks in the
employ of the State and cities; the police;
fire service; the labor service of Boston, and
some othtr more less skilled laborers
The commissioners say that the appointing
officers of the commonwealth and cities hay
ing become familiar with the system estab-
Gshed by the Civil Service act, have general
Iy recognized it's utility, and it affords them
immunity from personal importantly for Of
fee. The public service has been benefited
by securing the employment of tested and
proved fitness, by taking partsanship and
personal favoritism out of the public
Offices, by relieving the SUI pe1ior and ap-
pointing officers of the pressure of solicita
ton for Office, and by giving incumbents of
Office more secure tenure.
The commissioners believe that the pres
ent preference given to honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors secures to them every
right which it would be possible to enforce
in appointments to the public service In

those registered We're veterans, of whom
nearly thirty seven per cent. We're certified,
against forty-two and one half per cent. of
civilians. In the limited examinations one
hundred and ten veterans took part, of
whom eighty-nine, or eighty-one per cent,
passed, and about forty five per cent. were
appointed to office.
A general law is recommended providing
for tenure of Office by regular police, with
removal for cause only; that authority be
given the cities to appropriate money for the
extension of the service; that special police
officers appointed for private purp oses be re-
quired to give bond for the proper dis
charge of their duties, and thaS, wherever
possible, the salary of all public officers be
fixed by law, abolishing the system of lump.
or aggregate, appropriations for clerical
compensation to the departments Of the gov
by which the amount to be paid to
each clerk is wholly wi. hin the discretion of
the head of the department.
Civil Service reform seems to have been a |
good thing for Massachuset it's. Why would |
it not also be good thing for Connecticut |

The Misses Caldwell. who have created such
a stir here this season, first by reason of their
wealth and their accomplishments, and Sec
eccentricities, are granddaughters of very
romantic character. Early in the century
James H. Caldwell made his appearance in
this country as strolling actor man of
unusual intelligence and singular charm of
manner, he went to Fredericksburg many
years ago with a company of adventurous
transformers and played round of stand
ard dramas. Miss Sallie Carter of Albe-
marie, a beauty and ''catch,' was visiting
Fredericksburg at the time, and just before
the engagement closed the community was
startled by the announcement that the fasci-
mating Miss Carter had privately married the
impecunious but brilliant English actor,
Caldwell. There was stir over it, and
many were the con lectures as to what Colo
mel Carter weuld do to avenge this outrage
on the exclusive aristocracy of Virginia
The colonel. however, happened to be SEN
sible well proud man, so he went to
Fredericksburg to see his rather sudden SON.
in-law. The interview resulted in mutual
respect and attachment. and at Colonel Car
ter's request Caldwell abandoned the barn
stormers and went home to the Carter man
sion in Albenarie. After years acquain-
tance, which confirmed all of the colonel's
favorable impressions, that handsome old !
gentleman gave Caldwell good many thou
sands of dollars and sent him to New York |
to begin life on his own account.
CaIdwell's career after that was one of |
wonderful success. Everything he touched |
turned to gold. He founded the great gas |
of New Orleans and Cincinnati, !
built 'heaters-probably the old Camp street |
temple in New Orleans, where Edwin Forrest !
made his American debut nearly sixty years |
ago-and in a word accumulated a vast for |
tune. The story of his life is like fairy |
tale, though the most beautiful feature of it |
all is the deep and tender affection that al |
ways existed between him and the woman
who stopped to him from her high estate
when they were both so Young.
The young ladies in question appear to
nave inherited some of their grandfather's
and much of his picturesque and
heatricai temperament. They unique,
housh greatly admired and respected, &C
luisitious to the somewhat humdrum and
tereotyped society of the capital

No wonder that people who have faith in
thermo meters differ greatly in their ideas of
the temperature. Professor Rogers of Wa
teryille college has recently compared four
teen of the most reliable thermometers in the
town with his standard instrument. Tests
were made at six grades of temperature, or
"a tests in all, and in only four of these were
the town thermometers correct. In so cases
they were all wrong from one-fourth of a de-
gree to four degrees, while one instrument
was eleven degrees out of the way.

The Salt Lake Tribune thinks "the grand

The work they are performing is as noble as
was ever done and their success is most graf

by money contributed in the eastern States;
it amounts to thousands of dollars annually.
This work has been con tinued here for many
years, and yet there has never been a breath
whispered against the financial managers or
! the teachers of these schools. They have

TO Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands of
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for a thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
its continued use.
s. III. Latimer, NJ. D., Mt. Vernon,
Ca, says: "I have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral a perfect cure for Group in all
cases. l have known the worst cases
relieved in a very short time by its use;
and advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."
A. j. Edison, NJ. D., Middletown,
Tenn, says: 81 have used Ayers
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepara-
ton once saved my life. I had a con-
slant cough, night sweats, was greatly
reduced i'll flesh, and given up by my
physician. One bottle and a half of the
Pectorai cured me-"
